Ever scrolled through Facebook and stumbled upon a post raving about a fantastic new fitness tracker or an insightful blog on the best personal finance apps? Chances are, those recommendations were part of a clever strategy called affiliate marketing.

What Exactly Is Affiliate Marketing on Facebook?

In simpler terms, it’s a partnership between you and a brand.

You, the affiliate, promote the brand’s products or services on your Facebook page, and when someone clicks on your unique affiliate link and makes a purchase, you earn a commission.

It’s a win-win: you get rewarded for sharing products you love, and the brand reaches a wider audience.

So, how do you unlock the power of Facebook affiliate marketing and turn it into a sustainable revenue stream? Get ready, we’re about to delve into it with this types of blogs make the most money!

Building Your Facebook Affiliate Marketing Empire: Step-by-Step

1. Find Your Niche and Audience

The first step is identifying your sweet spot. What are you passionate about? What topics do you have a wealth of knowledge in? Whether it’s fashion, travel, healthy living, or business tips, focus on a niche where you can genuinely connect with your audience.

2. Craft Compelling Content

High-quality content is the cornerstone of successful Facebook affiliate marketing. Here are some tips to keep in mind:

  • Informative and Engaging: Strive to educate and entertain your audience. Share valuable insights, offer helpful tips, and spark conversations around topics relevant to your niche.
  • Visually Appealing: People are drawn to visuals. Use high-quality images, infographics, and even videos to break up text and capture attention.
  • Storytelling Power: Share personal experiences, highlight case studies, and create a sense of connection with your readers.

3. Integrate Affiliate Links Strategically

Don’t just bombard your audience with links. Here’s a smarter approach:

  • Organic Integration: Mention affiliate products naturally within the context of your content. If you’re writing a blog post about healthy meal prepping, recommend food storage containers you genuinely use and love.
  • Transparency is Key: Always disclose that the links you share are affiliate links. Building trust with your audience is paramount.
  • Target the Right Audience: Not every post needs affiliate links. Focus on integrating them into content relevant to the specific product or service.

4. Master the Art of Facebook Engagement

Facebook thrives on interaction. Here’s how to get your audience talking:

  • Ask Thought-Provoking Questions: Spark discussions by posing questions related to your niche. Encourage your followers to share their experiences and recommendations.
  • Respond to Comments and Messages: Show your audience you care. Respond to comments promptly, answer questions thoughtfully, and participate in discussions.
  • Run Engaging Contests and Giveaways: Who doesn’t love a good giveaway? Partner with brands to offer products or services as prizes and use affiliate links to track entries.

5. Run Facebook Ads (Optional)

While organic reach can be powerful, Facebook Ads can give you a targeted nudge. Here’s how to leverage them effectively:

  • Laser-Focused Targeting: Facebook Ads allow you to reach a highly specific audience based on demographics, interests, and online behavior. Target your ads to people most likely to be interested in the products you’re promoting.
  • Track and Analyze Results: Don’t just throw money at ads and hope for the best. Track performance metrics, analyze what’s working and what’s not, and constantly optimize your campaigns for better results.

Bonus Tip: Partner with Affiliate Program That Offers Ongoing Support

Getting started with Facebook affiliate marketing can feel overwhelming. Look for a program that offers dedicated support from a personal manager. This manager can guide you through the platform’s intricacies, answer your questions, and help you adjust your strategy as needed.

Here’s where a program like BizzOffers can be a game-changer. BizzOffers goes beyond just providing affiliate links. Their professional managers can help you with the following:

  • Choosing the right products: Your manager can help you find products that perfectly align with your audience’s interests. With a vast product selection across various niches, such as wellness, parental control, and more, your manager can help you find products that meet your audience’s needs.
  • Optimizing your content strategy: Your manager can offer insights on crafting compelling content that resonates with your audience and seamlessly integrates affiliate links.
  • Understanding Facebook analytics: Tracking and analyzing data is crucial for success. Your manager can help you decipher Facebook analytics and use those insights to optimize your campaigns for better results.

The Bottom Line

Facebook affiliate marketing isn’t a get-rich-quick scheme. It requires dedication, consistent effort, and a strategic approach. But by following these steps, building a loyal audience, and partnering with a program like BizzOffers, you can transform your Facebook presence into a powerful revenue stream.

So, are you ready to unlock the untapped potential of Facebook affiliate marketing? Identify your niche, create engaging content, and strategically integrate affiliate links. You can build a thriving online presence with dedication and the right tools and turn your passion into profit.

Alexander Bachmann is the Founder and CEO of Mitgo.

Startups are booming globally, with a staggering 5.5 million new business applications filed in 2023, according to the U.S. Census Bureau via the U.S. Chamber of Commerce. Despite this, only a fraction of these startups manage to survive in the long term. The journey of creating, launching and monetizing a project can be a challenging task without the right resources.

At Mitgo, we help businesses navigate the hurdles that come with a new business and grow through value-added partnerships, providing the support they need to break into global markets. Through our years of partnerships, here’s what we’ve learned.

1. Proactively look for new projects.

You can’t wait for opportunities to knock at your door—you have to find them. Identify suitable projects through various channels. Review your current collaborators and request publishers’ personal managers to highlight noteworthy projects.

When we find projects that we’re interested in, we propose investment partnerships with them. This proactive approach helps us find the right projects for our company.

However, remember that you’re not alone in this pursuit. There are many investment firms and venture capitalists looking for promising projects. But, you need to make your project stand out. Be persistent and purposeful in your efforts to gain visibility.

2. Set benchmarks for selecting partners.

Know your must-haves and define them. By setting your criteria, you can filter out unsuitable projects, leaving only those with potential. For project owners, understanding investor criteria can guide you in shaping your projects to meet these criteria, thereby increasing your chances of securing investment.

For example, one of our criteria is to select those who earn over $10,000 per month in affiliate marketing. We view this as a sign of project maturity and an opportunity to positively impact the company’s growth.

But there are exceptions, and you should plan for these. For instance, we consider new founders with substantial experience in large projects. We also scrutinize their operating model to ensure legality, and we don’t engage in arbitrage due to its instability for long-term investment relationships.

3. Invest in a profitable product.

When evaluating an investment partnership, ensure that the product has the potential to sell well and gain market traction.

Foster a unique dynamic in your investment partnerships. Your primary goal is to make the product profitable. If the product sells well, it’s a mutually beneficial relationship as you secure a sustainable and profitable income source.

4. Effective partnerships aren’t just about the money.

Investing in a project is not only about money. You should also look for other ways to help the project grow. Consider conducting a quick test at the beginning of your partnership to see how else you can be helpful.

Some projects need help with industry expertise, business strategy or forging new networks. If the initial phase of the project is successful, then that could be a sign to invest more. Eventually, this becomes a meaningful, mutually beneficial and effective partnership.

5. Find and solve real challenges.

Try to understand the obstacles that prevent a project from scaling 10 to 100 times its size. If the issue can be solved with financial resources, consider how you might deploy those funds effectively with proper guidance.

If the challenge is more complex, consider utilizing the HADI cycle (Hypothesis-Action-Data-Insights) to determine the optimal assistance strategy. You can also use the YCombinator SAFE templates, a founder-friendly format for documenting investor-project relationships.

As stated earlier, not all project needs are monetary. Non-financial resources such as expertise, networks and other factors can significantly contribute to a project’s success, as project needs can differ based on their development stages, geographies and challenges.

6. Build long-term partnerships.

Investment partnerships are like marriages. They should be built on transparency, openness and mutual trust. While seeking partners, ensure you do not impose any conditions that could potentially hinder the project’s ability to reach its fullest potential. This means respecting the vision and autonomy of your partners while providing your expertise and resources to help them thrive.

Final Thoughts

Throughout our investment history, we’ve put tens of millions of dollars into various projects. Some of them were successful, but others failed. Yet this is exactly the right business education and experience required for successful investment partnerships because it provides practical insights into what works and what doesn’t, despite its cost.

While there are millions of startups that seek funding, not all are viable. Nevertheless, there are many promising ventures that can truly shine with the right partnership. The tips we provided can help reduce risks and guide you to partner confidently.

The Brazilian iGaming market has shown rapid growth in recent years. In this context, advertisers face the challenge of capturing users’ imagination and encouraging them to actively engage with their offers and advertisements.

In a scenario of constant competition for the public’s attention, the quality of the creativity of your advertisements plays a crucial role in the success of iGaming campaigns.

Adsterra iGaming expert Mikhail Zhukov shares valuable insights and practical suggestions for creating effective ads that resonate with Brazilian audiences, thereby driving the success of iGaming campaigns on the Adsterra platform.

If you are a traffic manager, affiliate or brand that runs iGaming ads and are looking for new sources of qualified traffic, so as not to depend solely on conventional sources, .

Most effective iGaming ads: 4 top tips

Before we dive into the tips themselves, it’s important to point out that they are based on successful experiences with the ad formats made available by Adsterra to its advertisers, such as the , Interstitial and exclusive formats. You can explore all the formats by clicking .

Added value:

Adding value to the offer is a powerful strategy to attract the attention of Brazilian players. Incorporating discounts, exclusive bonuses, freemiums and promotional codes into your ads are elements that can increase conversion rates.

It’s crucial that these offers are genuine and tangible, ensuring users feel encouraged to take action. If you are running iGaming ads as an affiliate, maintaining constant contact with the offer advertiser to check the availability of promotions and bonuses is essential to preserve credibility.

Emotion and engagement:

Creativity must go beyond simply listing benefits. With the iGaming market increasingly mature, your ads must contain elements that arouse emotion and interest in players.

Incorporating emotional elements, such as passion for the game or your favorite team, the desire to win and the excitement of competition, can make ads more engaging and persuasive.

Furthermore, the use of the FOMO (Fear Of Missing Out) effect can encourage participation in exclusive and limited promotions.

Visual coherence:

Make sure the design of your creatives matches your offer message and landing page experience. This is essential to maintain the coherence and credibility of the campaign.

Creativity that is not aligned with the identity or value proposition of the brand being promoted can result in a disjointed experience for users, which leads to lower conversion rates.

Location and language:

Don’t restrict yourself to offers and traffic from just your region. By running ads on a global advertising network like Adsterra, you can reach qualified traffic from around the world.

This is an excellent opportunity to generate dollar revenue and get more conversions for your offer. However, it is crucial to speak the local language. Translating your ad text into the language spoken in the region you are buying traffic from is a crucial step to ensuring relevance and connection with your audience.

Avoiding common mistakes, such as campaigns in Portuguese aimed at other Latin American countries, is essential to demonstrate respect and understanding for the target market.

Building a strong network of affiliates is crucial for the success of any affiliate program. However, the recruitment process can be tricky, and falling into certain pitfalls can hinder your efforts. This blog post will explore some common mistakes to avoid while recruiting affiliates and offer strategies to build a thriving program.

1. Not Knowing Your Value Proposition

Before approaching potential affiliates, clearly understand what sets your program apart from competitors. Consider factors like commission rates, cookie duration, available marketing materials, and ongoing support. Highlight these benefits in your recruitment pitch to attract qualified affiliates interested in promoting your products or services.

2. Targeting the Wrong Audience

Casting a wide net isn’t always effective. Instead, identify the most suitable affiliates for your brand. Look for individuals with established audiences, relevant content, and a strong alignment with your target demographic. Researching successful affiliates promoting similar products can also provide valuable insights.

3. Offering Uncompetitive Incentives

Competitive commission rates and cookie durations are essential for attracting and retaining quality affiliates. Analyze your competitors’ offerings and ensure your program provides sufficient motivation for affiliates to promote your products consistently.

4. Neglecting Communication

Building relationships with your affiliates is key. Respond promptly to inquiries, address concerns, and provide ongoing support. Consider regular communication through newsletters, webinars, or dedicated online communities to keep your affiliates informed and engaged.

5. Relying Solely on Cold Outreach

While cold email outreach can be effective, relying solely on this method can be inefficient and lead to low conversion rates. Explore alternative strategies like attending industry events, collaborating with relevant influencers, or leveraging affiliate networks to reach a wider audience.

6. Lack of Transparency

Be transparent about your program’s terms and conditions, including commission structures, payment timelines, and tracking methods. Clearly communicate all expectations upfront to avoid misunderstandings and potential conflicts with affiliates down the road.

7. Not Providing the Right Tools and Resources

Empower your affiliates with the tools they need to succeed. Offer high-quality marketing materials like banners, product descriptions, and social media graphics. Consider providing educational resources, training webinars, or dedicated support channels to help affiliates effectively promote your products.

8. Ignoring Performance Tracking

Regularly monitor your program’s performance. Analyse data on clicks, conversions, and affiliate performance to gain valuable insights. Identify high-performing affiliates and personalize your approach based on individual needs and contributions.

9. Failing to Nurture Existing Relationships

Don’t neglect your existing affiliates. Regularly engage with them, celebrate their successes, and provide opportunities for feedback. This helps build long-term relationships and fosters a sense of community within your affiliate network.

10. Giving Up Too Soon

Building a successful affiliate program takes time and effort. Don’t expect instant results. Continuously refine your recruitment strategies, analyse results, and adapt your approach based on data insights. Be patient, persistent, and dedicated to building a network of valuable partners who can contribute to the long-term success of your program.

By avoiding these common pitfalls and implementing these strategies, you can effectively recruit and retain a team of dedicated affiliates who will help propel your affiliate program to new heights.

Marketing Mogul, Mary Seats, Shares What It Takes To Execute A Successful Campaign https://cbomo.com/marketing-mogul-mary-seats-shares-what-it-takes-to-execute-a-successful-campaign/ https://cbomo.com/marketing-mogul-mary-seats-shares-what-it-takes-to-execute-a-successful-campaign/#respond Fri, 06 Oct 2023 06:38:08 +0000 https://cbomo.com/marketing-mogul-mary-seats-shares-what-it-takes-to-execute-a-successful-campaign/ [ad_1]

Every year, the world’s most recognizable companies pour millions of dollars into marketing strategies. From New Balance’s signature shoe deal with tennis phenom Coco Gauff to the 100 brand partnerships Mattel created to promote the Barbie movie, top-earning companies continue to invest in getting their brands in front of new and existing audiences. These initiatives are ideated and executed by marketing professionals who understand how to cut through all the noise in today’s crowded markets and get consumers to pay attention and pull out their wallets. In Atlanta, Mary Seats is a highly sought after marketing maven, known for her ability to build campaigns and strategies that generate massive brand recognition and sales.

Seats, affectionately nicknamed ‘The Kris Jenner of Marketing’ for her ability to spot unique and unlikely opportunities to maximize a brand’s impact, has been spearheading successful marketing strategies for more than a decade. She first tested out her expertise, backed by her educational background in marketing, on her own fashion brand, Cupcake Mafia.

Starting with only $300 in 2011, Seats grew her clothing line into a $2.4 million-dollar business in just four years. Success was followed by loss, when an acquisition-gone-wrong cost her the business and brought on financial challenges that left her sleeping on an air mattress.

But seats didn’t stay down for long. While she was scaling Cupcake Mafia, she had built an expansive network by finding ways to add value to the markets and spaces she entered. So, when she sought support to find and secure roles in the fashion industry, she had plenty of help. Eventually, Seats had developed marketing experience that allowed her to regain control of her company. Through the ups and downs of her entrepreneurial journey, she tested and refined her ability to engage audiences and translate attention into sales.

“I took my formal education and did the work,” said Seats, who holds a BA in Fashion, Marketing, and Business from Kent State University and a Ph.D. in Philosophy, Christian Leadership and Business. “I studied. I loved my craft, and I worked endlessly and entirely to make something of it.”

Eager to help other entrepreneurs and business owners, especially minority female founders, in 2015, Seats started the Icing Agency, a full-service marketing consultancy providing everything from graphic design to brand development.

“I thought, ‘I have all these amazing ideas, and I want to see more people get into retailers. I want to see more women grow and scale their businesses,’” Seats recalled. “I started to take on smaller clients and created a digital community for female entrepreneurs.”

Today, Seats continues to support up-and-coming female founders, but her client list also includes notable names like Tamar Braxton, Kountry Wayne, Shear Share, and SPERGO, which featured on Shark Tank. She shared her advice for marketing professionals looking to make their mark on the industry.

Be Forward Thinking

Marketing isn’t just about selling a product and service in the moment. Good marketers understand how to forecast and create strategies that will position their clients for success both in the present and the future.

Seats noted, “If your clients are [focused] on tomorrow, you need to be [focused] on next year and the year after next,” Seats explained. “When you’re building out someone’s brand, the decisions that they’re making tomorrow will affect their five-year growth strategy and personal brand image, so you have to be a forward thinker.”

One case study that exemplifies this advice is her work with auto industry executive, Todd Skelton. As Skelton transitioned from Pizza Hut manager to owner of a multi-billion-dollar auto company, Seats knew his success would be significantly impacted by his personal brand narrative and visuals. Seats and her team provided Skelton with a complete rebrand, including photography, videography and brand messaging.

“This transformation led to Todd securing prominent unpaid media appearances, including features on the Brad Lea Podcast, NASDAQ, Bloomberg, and Fox, despite having a modest 2,000 followers at the time,” Seats shared. “This transformation propelled him to a prominent position with the auto industry, showcasing the remarkable power of strategic branding and visual storytelling.”

Know When to Pivot

Seats has never been afraid to change directions. Her career has included a number of shifts, including her move from owning one of the largest female-owned streetwear brands to managing a manufacturing factory in China to her current success as founder of multiple companies. Seats knows that in business, being able to pivot on a dime is critical to success.

She has a knack for guiding her online community and clients through quick transitions. It’s a skill she’s worked diligently to master. “I always have my finger on the pulse. I not only know when to pivot, but I know when to make my audience pivot as well,” Seats said.

That’s precisely what she did when she helped Tamar Braxton build a haircare brand in just a few days. Braxton had been preparing for her show, “To Catch a Beautician,” and wanted to launch a beauty brand to coincide with the program’s debut. Initially, Braxton was considering selling hair extensions, but Seats saw an opportunity for her to pivot, offering her the hair growth serum she had already been developing herself.

“We had two days to fully develop the whole brand. Packaging, labelling, the ingredients from the vendors, website, social media. We developed sales scripts on how to talk about the company on live. We flew to L.A. a month later to do a photoshoot to promote the brand. I personally managed [Tamar’s] social media during the launch to ensure we were able to sell and scale. In just the first three months, the brand generated six figures [in revenue] and was featured in Essence and on BET,” Seats recalled.

Understand Key Metrics

Seats shared that a common mistake new entrepreneurs and marketers make is spending money on ads and campaigns without tracking metrics to ensure those tactics have been effective and worth the investment. Seats suggests paying close attention to metrics like monthly sales, profit, and social growth before and after services have been provided. She warns marketers not to get caught up in what clients do after the end of the contract but focus on the impact of the campaigns they created and executed while working with them.

“When I look at metrics, I look at what I did for them in the time that I was working for them – sales, social media followers, influencer collaborations, what rooms I put them in that they wouldn’t have had access to without me. Those are the measures that I am tracking results,” Seats explained.

Another case study that exemplifies this includes the first film project she ever marketed, “Secret Society Movie.” The film’s producers approached Seats with a goal to land on Amazon’s top 10 list. By carefully studying and tracking the key metrics that contributed to a film’s Amazon ranking, including streams, rentals, and purchases. In the end, “Secret Society Movie” made it to #2 on the Amazon list within a month; accumulated 12 million Amazon streams in its first year; and attracted an audience of 700+ to the Miami and Atlanta premieres. Social played a huge role in the strategy’s success as the film went viral on both Instagram and TikTok, garnering a total of 20 million impressions across the platforms. Those metrics have translated to tangible financial success, with a revenue of $10 million to date.

Be of Service

“Marketing is not an industry in which you can have an ego to say, ‘I’m not doing that,’” Seats explained. “I’ve done it all. I’ve sacrificed my own name, likeness, and relationships. A big part of the job is saving your clients in ways no one would ever believe. You have to be ready to serve at any time.”

Seats proves that the best marketing professionals are those who understand that the goal is not to shine the spotlight on themselves. To excel in this space means being willing to work hard behind the scenes. It’s about understanding your clients’ goals and their audiences’ interests and creating unique experiences that bring those two together. Most importantly, being a good marketer means recognizing your capacity to move the needle on big cultural moments and conversations and creating and executing strategies that allow those to happen.

Seats’ marketing genius is undeniable, and she’s certainly leaving a mark on the industry and brands she works with, but her vision extends far beyond that. Seats has consistently strived to create spaces and opportunities for female entrepreneurs of color to thrive.

In addition to running the Icing Agency, Seats founded The Bakery Cowork, a creative epicenter with over 100 monthly members that includes a photography studio, event space, podcast studio, and more. This innovative coworking space is designed to equip female entrepreneurs in Atlanta with the practical tools and resources, along with trainings, workshops, and an extensive network, that will support them in building and scaling successful brands.

Seats is also dedicated to pouring back into her community, using her skills and experience in business and marketing to mentor thousands of young women in Atlanta and the surrounding area. She regularly hosts retreats, women’s empowerment conferences, and webinars that cater to entrepreneurial-minded girls and women.

“I just want to be the person that shows other women that not only can they [succeed] but give them the resources to do it,” Seats said.

Tips For Building A Successful Digital Marketing Agency https://cbomo.com/tips-for-building-a-successful-digital-marketing-agency/ https://cbomo.com/tips-for-building-a-successful-digital-marketing-agency/#respond Thu, 29 Jun 2023 23:40:58 +0000 https://cbomo.com/tips-for-building-a-successful-digital-marketing-agency/ [ad_1]

Sergio Alvarez is a performance marketing expert, digital attribution leader and CEO and founder of Ai Media Group.

The marketing space has seen some of the highest rates of change and disruption in the last decade. It’s an exciting industry to be in—but that also makes it challenging. Whether you’re on the cusp of opening your first digital marketing agency or you’ve been running your business for a while and have found yourself in a rut, there are a few guiding principles that can help you succeed. Additionally, for clients looking to engage with a marketing agency for the first time, these principles can aid in identifying a solid foundation for that burgeoning relationship.

Core Pillars

Building anything requires a solid foundation and endoskeleton. When building a successful marketing agency, these six pillars can support your business:

Pillar 1: The People

You’re only ever as good as the people you surround yourself with. Your team needs to be on the same page as you in every respect: skill, culture, and attitude. Balancing out these aspects is the challenge. A highly skilled employee may be valuable, but also could be considered toxic if their attitude and culture don’t match your business’s. Because of this, skill sets should be regularly updated.

Pillar 2: The Tech

Although people are important, they are not enough to create a successful marketing agency. To achieve your KPIs, the right technology is key. You may have this tech in-house or you could source it, but you will most likely fail without the capability to track campaigns properly and understand which levers to pull. A good marketing agency can always tell you exactly why the numbers are up or down—not in fluffy nondescript terms, but with hard data.

Pillar 3: Clear Goal Alignment

From the first meeting with a prospective client, clear goal alignment must be the basis of your interactions. Both you and your client need to be crystal clear about what success looks like. By clearly mapping out goals, you’ll be able to determine up front whether your agency is right for the job. No matter how many times the goals shift, there should always be one clearly defined ultimate picture of success that overrides all others.

Pillar 4: Transparency And Realism

Your agency can’t be the best at everything. Pushing your business into a jack-of-all-trades box increases the risk of failure. Understanding your strengths will help you to sketch out a well-defined plan for each campaign, which, where necessary, fills the gaps with other agencies. Clients appreciate honesty and will likely feel more confident in your skills because you can clearly delineate where the skill gaps exist.

These skills gaps should be identified in the goal-setting stage of your agency’s engagement with the client. The nature of their ultimate goal must align with your business’s strengths, and the smaller factors that will accumulate to achieve that goal can then be outsourced where necessary. An example is an agency with a creative lean versus one with a more analytical skill set. Each of these types of agencies will align better with different goals and need to outsource the areas where they have less expertise.

Pillar 5: Being Human

This one should be the easiest of all, but, in my experience, it’s often the most overlooked. People buy from people. It may be tempting to try to use your skills or fancy products as your selling point, but other agencies likely have the same or similar propositions. What differentiates you is how good you are at building relationships with your clients and what you are willing to sacrifice to maintain that relationship.

Work-life balance is important, but when you’re starting up a new business, there may be a period where you have to decide how much you’re willing to sacrifice for it to succeed. Part of that decision is committing to doing what others won’t to get and keep clients who value leaders who go the extra mile.

Pillar 6: Continuous Innovation

Innovation and the capability to disrupt are key in marketing, especially in the digital realm. You, your team, and your agency must be flexible and ready to pivot at any point. Continuous learning and keeping your finger on the pulse of the industry are vital to success. Servicing the client’s current needs is one thing, but having the ability to serve their future needs is where the value truly lies.

Is Now The Right Time?

If you’re thinking of starting up a marketing agency right now, you may be looking at the news and the economy thinking now isn’t the time. But truthfully, there is no good time to start a business. The best time to get your agency up and running is the moment you choose to do it.

I started my business in 2008, shortly before the worst economic downturn in almost 100 years. But I found that starting my business at that time actually benefited me in the long run. New businesses are easier to pivot in changing times than long-established companies. Also, in my experience, anything forged in fire is far tougher than its fair weather peer.

Build It And They Will Come

Once you’ve considered the six pillars of a successful marketing agency and convinced yourself that the right time is the precise moment you start, you are left with building something you are proud of. If you create a marketing agency that you would use, it’s very likely that the types of clients you’re able to sign on will match your values and business goals. This kind of symmetry is invaluable and an undeniable building block in the path to a successful marketing agency.
